[Histonet] More Health and Safety

From:

"Nick Kirk"

Hi all
Following on from the thread about carcinogens, I thought that some of you
might be interested to know that here in the UK we now have to have
creatinine clearance tests done if we handle or are exposed to xylene.
It's part of the Health & Safety Executive documentation for which I attach
a link here
http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/eh40sup.pdf
This is an update document and not the whole one which lists all the
chemicals that have exposure limits in the UK.
Might make interesting reading for those of you non-UK histonetters who are
interested in Health and Safety.
